The original Japanese language Your name. soundtrack hit #1 on Oricon’s weekly ranking last September, and went Gold (in Japan, 100,000 sales) for digital downloads.
J-rock band RADWIMPS was commissions to handle the soundtrack for the blockbuster anime feature Your name., lending it a unique feel quite different to the Studio Ghibli comparisons made by many critics.
As of later this month, RADWIMPS and Your name. are both hoping to reach a wider audience with an English-edition film soundtrack — featuring English-language versions of the music from the film performed by the band.
